Yamaha hydrogen V8

Yay or nay?

Yes.

 

Don't know how much money will be invested into hydrogen outboard engines as of today, since it's a comparatively small market. Several large automakers are investing significantly into hydrogen automotive engines.

 

I wouldn’t feel too comfortable pounding the boat into waves with those hydrogen tanks in the hull.

 

If it has to be hydrogen, I’d want a fuel cell one for the efficiency/range/etc.

Since hydrogen fueling infrastructure is even harder and pricier than electric vehicle charging, I’d rather make do with a Bolt.

Got to drive a Nexo not long ago though, it had some fuel cell defect that made accelerating require really weird pedal input but when it wasn’t acting up it drove like an electric car and worked fine. (complete with a hybrid battery)

Most offensive was the center console buttons.
